A lot of uncomfortable shifting around at the beginning, just started watching.

Fascinating talk.

Key takeaways for me were:

• When they spoke about "care" and the Zune.
• When Jony said "we never spoke about the business".
• How all three repeated that Steve just wanted to create great products.
• Disruption was never a goal, it was a consequence.
• The one word descriptions of Steve.

Apple doesn't support RCS.

"Buy your Mom an iPhone." Why doesn't Tim just send her one for free ? He can afford it.

I enjoyed that!. It was a big theme amongst everyone on stage, care and keeping it simple, privacy and empowerment and Steve Jobs lack of couches!.

Steve Jobs lack of couches!

Zen style minimalism. What would would Steve have thought of your desk ?

The evolution of messaging is interesting.

I remember when AOL's AIM dominated messaging... Then came BBM... Apple never resorted to trying to force anyone to use Messages. They just built a better product and the rest took care of itself.

I see RCS as a competing product from competitors trying to remove one of iOS's differentiators. They would like nothing more than to remove all differentiators so that their own phones are just like iPhones. I see no sensible reason for Apple to adapt this. If RCS is a better product and there's mass adaption, it will take care of itself.

I can't imagine what Steve would think, but he'd probably appreciate the Hello!

Why the big desktop cleanup ? What's gotten into you Craig ?

I know, I'm so disappointed in myself, what happened?, how'd it end up like this?... clean!.
